Hours after receiving some great news, the James Madison men's basketball team received some bad news.

James Madison players heard the school's name called on Selection Sunday after securing an automatic bid with a win over Northeastern in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament title game.

The Harrisonburg (Va.) Daily News-Record first reported that James Madison senior forward Rayshawn Goins, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, was arrested Sunday night, and his status for Wednesday night's play-in game of the NCAA tournament was announced later Monday. JM coach Matt Brady suspended Goins for the first half of the game.

According to police report, Goins was arrested on charges of obstruction of justice and disorderly conduct. He was was released on his own recognizance on $2,500 unsecured bond. The arrest stemmed from an incident at a team party Saturday night.
